[ale] Modem Login

[Todd R. Palmer]

You need a program such as mgetty to answer and do login.  I'd 
suggest mgetty+sendfax.  There is an excellent article at
http://www.unixworld.com/archives/95/tutorial/015/015.html  which 
explains how to do just this.

This is exactly what I do on my RH 4.2 server.  If you have any 
problems, drop me a line.

 Things you would never know without the movies:

 If being chased through town, you can usually take cover in a
 passing St. Patrick's Day parade - at any time of the year.
